Breaking news out of Washington, D.C. where the January 6 Committee just exposed Sidney Powell as . . . a fan of Diet Dr Pepper:
On Dec 18, 2020, Sidney Powell, Lt. Gen. Flynn, and others entered the White House for a meeting.
The meeting lasted multiple hours and included two groups of Trump advisers trading insults, accusations of disloyalty to the president, and even challenges to physically fight. pic.twitter.com/azqHAENbmB

And this is a big deal to blue-check Twitter:
I'm live-blogging the Jan 6 hearing over at Wonkette. This is some dark, dark stuff. Although Sidney Powell guzzling Diet Dr Pepper and whining that she didn't get to be Special Counsel is hilarious.https://t.co/HLkGzT3gCI pic.twitter.com/8QD7IimysE

More reactions from the firefighters who are protecting American democracy:
Diet Dr. Pepper should post an anti-Kraken tweet now. Just…you know…for no reason.

Literally in the office, drinking a Diet Dr. Pepper, watching Sidney Powell drinking a Diet Dr. Pepper during the hearing.

Please, don’t lump all us Diet Dr. Pepper drinkers into one group. Some of us love the crisp taste AND a peaceful transition of power.

Say what you will about Sidney Powell but Diet Dr. Pepper is great.

I would have enjoyed reading Edward Gibbon's take on Sidney Powell chugging Diet Dr. Pepper as she described her attempted seditious conspiracy.

And on and on and on it goes. Embarrassing.
